Analysis to Mechanical Engineering StudentsAbstractFor many years in the mechanical engineering curriculum, the topics of electric circuit design,mechatronics and instrumentation have all been taught as separate courses. However, thesetopics are all fundamentally related through the manipulation of electrical energy to producesome desired result, whether it be to turn on a light, drive an electric motor, or measure the stressin a beam. In an effort to more explicitly demonstrate how these subjects are related, a set ofthree courses, meant to be taken concurrently, was developed to integrate these topics. Twolecture based courses, one covering mechatronics and one covering instrumentation andexperimental design, as well as a laboratory course that

Furthermore, a design project that integrates various components of the coursewas added. To address HDL in-class learning, a new textbook was selected that better supportsthe use of HDL in logic design and emphasizes the relationships between HDL statements and thecorresponding digital hardware. It is also worth noting that, in order to prepare students for thesubsequent laboratory exercises, an introduction to VHDL is covered earlier in the revised course.
